While elevated plasma prorenin levels are commonly found in diabetic patients and correlate with diabetic nephropathy, the pathological role of prorenin, if any, remains unclear. Prorenin binding to the (pro)renin receptor [(p)RR] unmasks prorenin ca

Recent identification of a counterregulatory axis of the renin-angiotensin system, called angiotensin-converting enzyme 2-angiotensin-(1–7) [ANG-(1–7)]-Mas receptor, may offer new targets for the treatment of renal fibrosis. We hypothesized that

Administration of a mutant, noninhibitory PAI-1 (PAI-1R), reduces disease in experimental glomerulonephritis. Here we investigated the importance of vitronectin (Vn) binding, PAI-1 stability and protease binding in this therapeutic effect using a pan

Although elevated plasma prorenin levels are commonly found in diabetic patients and correlate with microvascular complications, the pathological role of these increases, if any, remains unclear. Prorenin/renin binding to the prorenin/renin receptor

Aldosterone is thought to modulate renal fibrosis, in part, through increasing plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), a major inhibitor of ECM degradation. The present study investigated aldosterone effects on PAI-1 and transforming growth f

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been implicated in renal fibrosis. In vitro, PAI-1 inhibits plasmin generation, and this decreases mesangial extracellular matrix turnover. PAI-1R, a mutant PAI-1, increases glomerular plasmin generation,

Recent evidence indicates that renin itself might be profibrotic, independent of angiotensin II; however, the signaling system by which renin exerts a direct effect is not known. We tested the hypothesis that renin receptor activation, in turn, activ

Recent evidence suggesting a strong interplay between components of the renin-angiotensin system and key mediators of fibrosis led us to hypothesize that renin, independent of its enzymatic action to enhance angiotensin (Ang) II synthesis, directly i

Curcumin blocks fibrosis in anti-Thy 1 glomerulonephritis through upregulation of heme oxygenase 1 . Background Induction of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of pathologic settings. Curcumin, a polyphenolic compoun
